Chapter 1220 I Will Never Love You
“Garrett! Stop!”
Laney stood in front of Ian, her gaze brimming with disappointment as it fell on Garrett. “If you want to hit someone, hit me. I was
the one who decided to come here,” she said.
Garrett’s fist hung suspended in mid-air. “Laney...” he started, but his voice trailed off without another word.
Laney didn’t bother lingering on him for long, and turned to Kailee with a calm gaze. “Kailee, no matter how much you want my
husband, you should never use a child as a bargaining chip. A kid is not some object or tool for you to use as you see fit.”
Kailee answered with a snort, making a mockery of Laney’s righteous words. Laney’s eyes fell on Kailee’s stomach, a chuckle
coming out of her.
“Still, we have yet to see if you really are pregnant, haven’t we? And even if you really are, there are plenty of ways to find out
the child’s true paternity. You can’t fake something like this,” she said.
Kailee’s face twisted into an unpleasant expression. “And what exactly do you mean by that?” she demanded.
But Laney paid no attention to her, and instead turned to Garrett with a tired expression. Deep sorrow filled her eyes, sharp and

penetrating in its silence.
Garrett felt his heart lurch as he met her gaze. Her eyes told him all he needed to know. Laney no longer believed in him.
“Let’s go, Ian,” she said in a calm voice that betrayed none of the hurt in her eyes. She turned away from Garrett and walked
away without looking back.
“Laney!” Garrett called out in a panicked voice. His feet were already going after her, but Kailee grabbed onto him. “Garrett!
Please don’t leave. Listen. I love you. I really love you. Now that I’m pregnant with your child, we can start a new family and be
happy together!”
Uncaring of other people, Kailee clung to him in a desperate embrace, fervently declaring her affection.
“Get the f*uc*k off me! Let me go!” Garrett wrenched himself free from Kailee and forced her away.

“I don’t care if you’re pregnant. I will never accept this child!” Kailee fell to the ground from the impact. She could no longer
muster any semblance of gracefulness or composure as she frantically grasped at Garrett’s shin, tears running down her face.
“Garrett, please!” she begged. “Don’t leave me! I love you! I can’t live without you!”
But Garrett had no interest in listening to her pained confession. He kicked her hand away and bent down to meet her gaze. The
coldness in his voice sent shivers through Kailee. “Listen carefully, Kailee. I don’t love you. I never have, and I never will. If
you’re really pregnant, get rid of the child. You will only be putting yourself and the kid through hell if you don’t. Do yourself a

favor. There is nothing you can do to change my mind, so give up on me.” The sound of Kailee’s sobbing came to an abrupt halt.
Devoid of emotion, she stared dumbly at the loathing in Garrett’s eyes, her heart sinking in despair. She had finally understood
that this man will never ever turn her way.
Garrett stood up straight and looked at Kailee. His eyes narrowed in disgust as if piece of trash on the sidewalk. “Your family will
pay for your misdeed. Just wait and see,” he said.
With that, he turned around and left the crumpled woman by herself.
Kailee could only watch Garrett’s receding figure as he walked away. She collapsed to the ground, wails ripped out of her.
Laney returned to the ward. She didn’t want to stay at this hospital for another second.
Whenever she closed her eyes, all she could see was the image of Kailee presenting the pregnancy test report to Garrett.
Tremors ran through her like aftereffects.
She had never imagined that her husband would have a child with another woman. It had shaken her to her core.
Knowing Laney’s state, Janet had already arranged for Ian to find a new hospital. A ward had already been prepared at the new
hospital. If Laney wanted, she could move there any time. She could be away from all of this, and she would be safe from Kailee.
Upon arriving at her room, Laney told Ian to pack her things.
Laney had not spoken another word ever since they left the VIP ward. Ian looked at her in concern and offered words of comfort,
“Mrs. Harding, please don’t take it too hard. It was all that woman’s doing. Mr. Harding got tricked. There is no way he would
betray you of his own accord.”
Laney’s voice came out thick and heavy, her tears threatening to spill again. “I know,” she answered.

Ian hesitated for a moment, then continued, “Kailee is the sort of person who would do whatever it takes to get what she wants.
It’s very likely that the whole pregnancy was made up.”
